Old Town Ambiance

The Rio Grande Inn is the culturally distinct Albuquerque event venue. Our meeting space is more than four walls. The murals and pictographs bring the walls to life, providing an authentic New Mexican atmosphere. Movable partitions, two ballrooms, and 5,440 sq ft  of flexible meeting space for events from 20 to 250 people, free of obstructions and pillars. Meet in the neighborhood that has been the heart of Albuquerque since the city was founded here in 1706. Modern facilities and modern conveniences, complimented by the unique historic ambiance of Old Town. Let us service your event and let our Old Town neighbors continue that hospitality in over 150 shops, restaurants, and attractions. 

Experience

Wouldn't it be nice to have confidence that the person who booked your event will still be there when the event takes place? The Director of Sales, Anthony Valentin, has been with Rio Grande Inn for over a decade. Our Director of Catering, Becca Smith, has been with the Rio Grande Inn for nine years. That kind of experience not only brings communication stability but an understanding of the venue's capabilities. If you can dream it, we have probably serviced it or can point you in the right direction.
